THE Quakers Farewel to England, OR Their Voyage to New Jerſey, ſcituate on the Continent of Virginia, and bordering upon New England.

[Page]

To the Tune of, The Independe [...]s Voyage to New England.

COme Friends let's away,

Since our Yea and Nay

I [...] England is now ſlighted,

To the Indians wee'll goe,

And our Lights to them ſhow,

That they be no longer benighted.

We'll teach them to Quake,

And wry Mouthes to make,

And pretend Inſpiration;

That the Prieſts that are there

Shall readily ſwear,

We worſhip the Gods of their Nation.

For each FRITAZIER

Is inſpired there

When the Spirit into him does enter,

And turnes up his Eyes,

And trembles likewiſe:

A Sy [...]k without peradventure.

Yet the Worlds People

That worſhips at the Steeple,

Will confidently aver it,

(Though it be a thing uncivil)

That it is the Devil

That both of us call the Spirit.

Yet be it what it will

So we get our fill

Of Riches, and good poſſeſſions;

When occaſion ſhall be,

We can change, you ſhall ſee,

Both Habits and Our Profeſſions.

The Country is good,

There's no want of Food;

'Tis fit for the Righteous to live in.

Nor need Siſters fear,

But this Country Cheere

Will make them plump and thriving.

For 'tis very meete

That ſuch ſhould well eate,

And farther Propagation,

Or elſe ISRAEL'S Race

Will decay apace,

And lowe us a mock to the Nation.

There ſhall we be free,

And enjoy LIBERTIE,

No power our Will controules;

Then what greater Bliſs

Could any of us wiſh,

[...] deſire from our [...]y Soules?

With the HOPE and the TVRK

We before made no work;

But if either now comes near us,

We'll let them both know,

That power we have now

Shall make them to Quake and fear us.

Neither IVES nor HICKS

With all their Tricks

Shall baffle our Inſpiration:

We'll make them to bend

If they date here contend,

And come to a Recantation.

Theſe BAPTISTS, Alas!

Had a very bad Caſe

To prove no Chriſtianity

In Quakers in found,

Since we have good ground

For what we pretend to be.

Then why do we ſtay,

And make ſuch delay,

When we to a Canaan are going?

For who ſtayes behind

May afterwards find,

That it may cauſe their undoing.

They have proved already

Our Faith is not ſteady;

Therefore we no Chriſtians can be.

Then next they will prove,

(If we do not remove)

Us guilty of Hereſie.

Then will they perplex,

And the Outward Man vex;

We ſhall have no peace in our Quarters:

But if we get away,

The INFORMERS may

Go hang themſelves in their own Garters.

In this Land we can live,

Get Money and thrive,

And follow our own Inventions

In ſpite of all thoſe

That ſeek to oppoſe

Our Zeal, or its pretentions.

To New JERSET WITH ſpeed

Come all Friends that need.

Wealth, or large Poſſeſſions;

The Indians we'll make

To ſerve us and Quake,

And be Slaves to our Profeſſions.

What they have is our own.

As plainly ſhall be ſhown;

For before us, Iſraels Race

The Canaanites did ſpoyle,

And make them turmoyle

For them in their own place.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
